Hia,i got a new cisco 7970G phone, and it is running in cycles (line lights) and does not stop.I guess it is looking for firmware to load (please correct me if i'm wrong).On my /tftpboot directory, i do have the following 7970 files:

In my SEPDefault7970.cnf.xml file i have the entry:<loadInformation>TERM70.7-0-1-0s</loadInformation>

What else do i need to do in order ot get the phone reading the files and finally works?

TIA,

Paulo

SOLVED: i got the cmterm-7970_7971-8-5-4.zip. After searching, i did read a post where an user told not being successful with any version other than .cop. So, i got cmterm-7970_7971-8-5-4.cop, and used it's files. In 5 minutes, the phone was alive and kicking, ready for service.

Hi Paulo,Would you please tell me which are the files that you have in your tftp folder for the phone so to load the firmware? (I am running an older version and would like to know what I need to do to get it to 8-5-4TH1-6) I downloaded the files from Cisco's web site along with the cop file. Do you have to rename the .cop file and how about the xml files, did you point it to the new software?Thx,Stallione.

Stallione,for this flash, i did use the tftpd32 (under windows), created a XmlDefault.cnf.xml, and the .cop file was extractd under linux (and moved later to the windows machine) using tar -xzvf cmterm-7970_7971-xxxxx.cop.If you need, i can see the steps and send it tomorrow.Do you have the 8-5-4TH1 in cop format?Best regards,Paulo

I did try for some days, without success, until i've found the posttelling that the cmtermxxxxx.zip would not work, but with .cop it would,so i did try it... and it worked, in 5 minutes the cisco was updated.The configuration to do it in the easy way: windows box, a switch or hub(not router) and the cisco.
